On a RHEL 6.2 server, I get odd behaviour with vim 7.2.411; randomly at a

A subsequent :q! usually works, but sometimes does the same.
I'm using konsole under KDE if that's of interest.
Seems like it's nocompatible which is doing it - by a process of elimination -
I started at the bottom, eliminating lines/functions till it worked.
All very odd, but thanks for your help.
I'm not sure that you've correctly identified the problem. I've
attached two files:
nicholls : a shell script that runs vim a hundred times, using
nicholls.vimrc (which I copied from your earlier email) and which
immediately tells vim to quit. I also ran it after having changed vim
to gvim, by the way.
Result: a bit of blinking as (g)vim popped in and out, but otherwise it
ran as expected. If a vim had refused to quit, a (g)vim window would
have remained open. I did this on a scientific linux 6.4 (Carbon)
system with a huge vim 7.4.272.
Suggestion: try running vim with -V and, when it refuses to quit and
goes insert instead, maybe you can see what happened. I don't much like
having distributed .vimrc files, as that frequently causes problems, but
I don't see anything in that .virc that should cause that quitting
issue. Dropping the "set nocompatible" is like preventing yourself from
having a car accident by removing the car's battery. It may work but
one does miss out on a lot.
What happens when you run the attached script?
Regards,
Chip Campbell
